NEWS & REVIEWS

Evita at Serenbe Playhouse
"Garza, an actress who has been seen the last year in numerous musicals such as Hands on a Hardbody at Aurora Theatre and The Rocky Horror Show at Actor’s Express, brings a real sense of a young woman coming into her own, taken by the power and glamour of where she has risen. She also has a terrific voice that works throughout the entire range of the score. Her signature moment, standing atop the balcony, is her “Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina.” Among her “people” are the audience members; it’s thrillingly sung and handled."
- Jim Farmer

"Fortunately, with Randi Garza as Evita, we do get to root for her. Ms. Garza acts, dances, and sings up a storm. She doesn’t miss a note in a score that is notoriously difficult to sing […] Yet Ms. Garza does it without apparent effort. And when, radiant in a beautiful gown, she stands atop the balcony of the Casa Rosada to sing “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina,” so skillful is her acting, so earnest is her emotion that we all, the audience, become her descamisados."

Shrek at Atlanta Lyric Theatre
"The most memorable songs are wondrously delivered by the radiant Garza (her solo “Morning Person,” as well as “I Know It’s Today,” performed alongside Brittany Ellis and Mabel Tyler as younger versions of Fiona) […] Although her Fiona might (literally) cut loose with the best of them, in her finest moments Garza also demonstrates how much more a bit less can sometimes be."
- Bert Osborne

"Ms. Garza, making her Lyric Theatre debut, is once again electrifying: singing, dancing, and acting. Her presence on any stage makes an evening much more interesting."

The Light in the Piazza at Theatrical Outfit
"Randi Garza is a major presence on any stage she graces these days; her Franca’s “The Joy You Feel” has fire and ice. You may remember her outstanding “Evita” at Serenbe Playhouse last summer."
- Manning Harris

"Garner’s ensemble, which also includes […] Randi Garza, is immaculate. Like any tight ensemble, they come in and do their jobs but they don’t try to overshadow the leads. Of note in the supporting cast is the sublime Garza, who belts out a fiery “The Joy You Feel.”
